Packers Should Snag This Sturdy Edge Rusher to Pair With Micah Parsons
The Green Bay Packers are considering signing free agent edge rusher Haason Reddick to strengthen their defense. Reddick, 32, has seen a decline in performance recently, with 3.5 sacks since 2024, but could benefit from reuniting with former Philadelphia coordinator Jonathan Gannon. Pairing him with Micah Parsons may rejuvenate his career and boost the team's pass rush.
- ▪Haason Reddick is a Pro Bowl edge rusher currently available as a free agent.
- ▪Reddick played under defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon in Philadelphia in 2022, when he recorded a career-high 16 sacks.

- ▪Reuniting Reddick with Gannon is seen as a potential catalyst for a career resurgence.
- ▪Matt Okada of NFL.com supports the idea of Reddick joining the Packers' defense.
